Temporary Orders in Texas

Why Temporary Orders are Important

Temporary orders dictate matters such as:

• Who gets to live in the marital home during the divorce process
• Parenting time and parameters for each parent or conservator
• Spousal or child support payments made during the proceedings

Entering into the divorce or custody process does not mean that real life stops. You will still be responsible for paying the following:

• Mortgage
• Health insurance
• Utility bills
• Taxes
• Other daily expenses

You do not want to pay more than you need to while it is yet to be decided which party is responsible for these costs on a long-term basis. Additionally, you don’t want to be separated from your children more than is necessary. These important issues are addressed through temporary orders, meaning you should take them seriously and recruit legal help from an Austin attorney as soon as possible.

What Temporary Orders Mean for the Future

While temporary orders do not necessarily directly correlate to the final divorce decisions, they do determine how you and your children will live while the case is pending. We recommend that you protect your interests from the beginning and speak to an Austin attorney from Andrae Law, PLLC today.
